Labor Day

Still awaiting the trip to the grocery store. It's been put off for too long. There is just a cup or so of milk left in the fridge, we are out of trash bags, and the closest thing there is to snack on would be the nearly empty box of frosted flakes. Yep, time to restock the cupboards.

I received apology flowers for the first time in my life. They are truly lovely, and they smell heavenly. The bouquet is half again as large as the ones that Darling Husband brings me every other week, and the vase is exquisite. I can smell the flowers in every room of the house. Lovely. They worked, and I had already forgiven him when they arrived.

Finally got the ancient HP computer reformatted. XP and then the Vista reinstalled, followed by the belkin setup. There is no reason to load up all of my website favorites and photos since there are other things to go online with. I plan to use it to read to me and play music in the front room while crocheting with the giant floor stand magnifier. Reloaded the kindle app on it and now have to re-download 1441 books. Other than adding books I won't use it with the Internet.

Trying out new (to me) apps on the iPad this weekend. The Braille Institute has one called the Big Browser. The huge letters and search bar make it easy to find things. I am, however still hunting for a back button. The only thing I can figure is to reload the original page and go from there again. Still, it makes web pages easy to hunt for.

Another app is Read My Facebook. It reads the posts without all of the bs. No pics which means you cannot comment on how adorable a poster's latest what/whoever is. Maybe that's not a bad thing. YouTube videos are not in the feed, so it would take another browser to hear what friends are listening to instead of hitting a direct link.

Also, I'm playing with several magnifying apps this weekend. Reading the menu when we went out for breakfast this morning was made easier by several of them. I'm withholding judgement on which is best until the new iPad with a better rear camera arrives the day after tomorrow.

Ups lost my new bra on Friday. It was on the truck for delivery. They delivered my new faucet around 2:30. Around 6, it went up in the tracking that there were carrier issues, and delivery has been rescheduled for Tuesday. I have excellent service from ups, they are my go-to guys for shipping. I hope it gets here soon. I was planning to wear a dress this weekend that required the new (strapless) bra.

It is so nice to listen to football games again. I love to hear the games on TV. Even with a big screen I cannot make out what they are doing, so I pretend that I'm hearing games on the radio like I did as a child.

Enough for now....
